Metamaterial Absorbers in Terahertz Band

In recent years, a great deal of effort has been made to a create terahertz （THz） wave absorber based on metamaterials （MM）. Metamaterials absorbers have a variety of potential applications including thermal emitters, detector, stealth technology, phase imaging, etc. In this paper, we firstly introduce the basic structure and work principle of the THz MM absorbers, and a transmission line model is developed for devices analysis. To expand the application of THz absorbers, dual-band and broadband THz MM absorbers are designed, fabricated, and measured. At the end of this article, the future development trends of MM absorbers are discussed.     

循环流化床收集器内颗粒团聚流动特性的研究

基于气固两相流理论和气溶胶动力学原理,建立流化床收集器(CFBA)内气体细颗粒聚团气固两相双流体模型。对不同入口气体速度、初始颗粒尺寸分布和不同颗粒团聚形成机理下收集器内颗粒聚团流动的流体动力特性进行数值模拟。研究结果表明湍流运动和剪切作用对颗粒聚团的形成起主要作用,布朗运动对颗粒团聚形成的影响可忽略不计。吸收颗粒可有效提高捕获细颗粒和颗粒聚团形成的能力。

Highly Symmetric Planar Metamaterial Absorbers Based on Annular and Circular Patches

We present the simple designs of metamaterial absorbers which are composed of a periodic array of copper annular （or circular） patches, FR4 substrate, and copper film. With appropriate geometrical parameters, these metamaterials can provide the electric and magnetic resonances overlapping in the given frequency range, and the experiments demonstrate the absorptivities of 97.6% and 96.7% with only a single layer of the metamaterial absorber. The surface currents and field distributions of these metamaterials are discussed to look straight into the resonance mechanism. Furthermore, our numerical simulations confirm that these metamaterial absorbers could be operated at wide angles of incidence. The simple and highly symmetric structures of the metamaterial absorbers proposed would greatly accelerate the practical applications in optics and electromagnetics.

针对腔体吸收器安装位置对其光热转换性能的影响进行了理论、模拟、实验研究。构建了太阳能槽式系统吸收器表面辐射热损失的物理模型,并进行了数学验证,结果表明吸收器表面的辐照度趋于均匀分布时,系统的热辐射损失减小。基于TracePro软件模拟了腔体吸收器在不同位置时的光学效率、辐照度标准差,发现腔体吸收器安装位置小于焦距时可获得较好的光学性能,采用焦距为1200mm的槽式系统进行了腔体吸收器光热转换性能的实验验证,当腔体吸收器安装焦距为系统焦距的98.75%,集热温度为201.3℃时,所构建的槽式系统的热效率可达35.53%。     

Planar Metamaterial Absorber Based on Lumped Elements

We present the design of a planar metamaterial absorber based on lumped elements, which shows a wide-band polarization-insensitive and wide-angle strong absorption. This absorber consists of metal electric resonators, the dielectric substrate, the metal film and lumped elements. The simulated absorbances under two different loss conditions indicate that high absorbance in the absorption band is mainly due to lumped resistances. The simulated absorbances under three different load conditions indicate that the local resonance circuit （lumped resistance and capacitance） could boost up the resonance of the whole RLC circuit. The simulated voltage in lumped elements indicates that the transformation efficiency from electromagnetic energy to electric energy in the absorption band is high, and electric energy is subsequently consumed by lumped resistances. This absorber may have potential applications in many military fields.
